Again with the revealing-information-world-domination threads being made by me, what was/were the most painful experience in your lifetime so far?

It can be physical or emotional. Now share and discuss

Physical pain
Two things come to mind. When I sprained my ankle and when I had a lumbar puncture. When I sprained my ankle it swelled very badly, looked like the size of an apple, and my entire foot was bruised. For those who don't know a lumbar puncture is a needle that goes into the spine to extract spinal fluids. It can cause one hell of a headache for up to 8 days afterwards. Thankfully my headache wasn't too bad.

Physical Pain:
When I was little I was jumping on a bed in the basement, and then slipped on the sheets only to land arm first onto the concrete floor. I broke my arm and it hurt REALLY bad. Wouldn't stop hurting so I had to go to the hospital.

Emotional Pain... That LED to Physical Pain:
This one probably hurt more than the broken arm. So, long story short, I was a depressed little emo kid for 4 years since the start of 8th Grade because I liked someone a lot, and they didn't like me the same, and the feelings eventually built up too much. At the start of my Junior Year, we had an assembly at school and the person I like came to say hi to all my friends that I was sitting with, but then they looked at me and just walked away. I've never felt more low in my life, so when the assembly was over and my friend asked me if I was okay, I broke down and started crying in front of everyone.

I had to wander the halls during class, crying me eyes out until my English teacher sent me to a Social Worker. Oh, and I cried so hard that my chest hurt and almost had a full-blown anxiety attack.

Physical pain:
Went cycling in the forest 5 minutes after it rained, my tire slipped on a tree root and i flew against a tree with my head.
That lead to a concussion and a serious wound, according to the doctor I was lucky I didn't broke my neck because it was only my head that slammed into the tree.

Physical Pain:
Went riding my bike with my brother. I hit a pole and literally flew out of the bike, hitting my head on the side of some truck.

I'd rather not share my emotional pain...an administrator has to have the Aura of being 'tough'

But every tough guy has a soft side ghehehe, just a mater of time.

Yep. My mission in life is to expose that tough side, then destroy whomever that person is. With ice cream.

Ice.... Cream.....
You can destroy me with that, I wouldn't mind. ^^

Yes, but the method in which I do it involves a fork, gelatin, and a goldfish.

It's that painful.

Not, the GOLDFISH!
Destroy someone with a goldfish, your soft side is put away very deep. ^^

Yes, the Goldfish is the most painful part...seriously...

Hmm... the most painful thing to happen to me was probably just recovery pains from when I had foot/leg surgery, and I was in a cast for a few months. It sucked... badly.

I hate having flat-feet. ;-;

Ouch....I wince just hearing about all of those...can't imagine how I'd actually react if I'd been there.

A really painful (physical) moment for me was when I was nine and accidentally cut my thumb with a shaving razor (I was playing with it.....not a good idea). I slit the nail and cut my skin and it hurt. I started screaming when I saw that I was bleeding. It was in a hotel when I was going to my aunt's wedding (reallll nice of me to make such a stir, wasn't it? xD) and everyone probably heard me screaming. I felt bad for making people, especially my grandpa worry because he worried about me a lot and he was a really nice and good person.

When I was eleven or something I cut my wrist when I slammed it into a glass hamster cage (long story) and got stitches. When the nurse was picking the glass out and cleaning it, it really hurt, but I tried not to look at it or talk.

A year ago I sprained my left ankle when I slipped on some stairs. It hurt so bad I couldn't talk. I think I freaked out the guy who stopped to help me limp over to a bench because I probably had one painful grimace on my face. My ankle bruised and swelled a lot. My doctor told me that there was a very small fracture. It's fine now, though I resprained it a few times which sucked because it swelled again. When it was healing, I hopped up stairs on one leg instead of using the elevator....not sure why. I didn't use crutches either even though we had them.

Well my most painful event happened a month ago, I broke my foot.

I was playing on the swings (yeah a 16 year old who likes to play with the swings) and the cord broke. I like to give full balance, and with all the force I hit my foot on the ground and weighted on it. I get drems with it in which I really jump in bed. Even though it really hurt a lot the most painful was actually the feeling of falling off, it was horrible. I can already walk now, but it'll take some time for me to run again normally. I got three doctors looking at my x-rays with O.O on their faces.

Now I have metal to hold it up, and I'll take it off in a year or so, but if I break my foot again until then I have the chance of smashing the bone.

You're lucky Serasia, I had to use crutches and I hated them with all my power. I managed to trip, fall, slide, and everything else with them, less walking with them normally. You had some painful experiences O.O

I'm in my twenties and I know I'd still love the swings. But I don't play on them anymore, I just walk and dance for fun/exercise. I'm jumping at any chance I get to play on swings though...maybe when I babysit sometime we'll go to the park or something.
I had dreams like that, I'm either jumping or walking on something and I fall then jolt awake.

Yeah...I'm glad I didn't break my ankle. Breaking an ankle must be awful...the feeling just as bad as the pain. Get well soon! You'll probably get one of those exercise charts to make the foot/bone stronger when it heals enough; my doctor gave me one. I resprained it a few times though and it swelled up again.
